Approved Insurance Contractor Dundee, Scotland.
Flood damage repairs are a common call that LC Joinery Roofing and Building Work get. This week we had a call from an insurance company to carry out repair work caused by a recent flood in a property in Dundee, Scotland. the cause of damage was due to concealed pipework in a bathroom tracing down and causing damage to a lower kitchen ceiling.
The job was classed as urgent and description of works was to have ceilings dropped in the property, to assist in determining damage to joists in the kitchen and study.
The Kitchen has a false ceiling, with a further ceiling approx half a meter above and the study is a single ceiling.
Upon arrival at site to get prepared for the job, first of all our tradesmen set out dust sheets to protect the customers kitchen.
We had to carefully remove a suspended timber and plasterboarded ceiling to find beneath all of this the original victorian lath plaster ceiling still in place so we had to carefully remove this to expose bare timbers allowing the dry experts to come in with equipment to ensure all timbers are dry and no timbers left and allowed to rot with further damage.
